Welcome to my new website, where I hope to connect with readers and writers for some community in this crazy world. I’m learning how to do this as I go, so kindly bear with me as I figure out WordPress, website maintenance, and topics for blog posts. I plan on being active here more than on social media, as the only way to be seen there is to pay for ads. I’m just trying to bring my writing to more than 10 people.
I’m excited to start this new chapter of my life and career with you. I’m wrapping up my first novel in almost 10 years. I started a few stories since but nothing stuck with me. I became discouraged and stopped writing altogether until I moved to metro Detroit in 2018, when I brought elements of the previous projects into one that I felt compelled to write. It’s the type of story I never thought I’d consider yet today, here I am, deep into a second draft. And maybe that works to my advantage. More details on that story will come later.
There is more to my story than that story. Like many, I didn’t come from the best of backgrounds and to even make a website about my creative projects is a big step for me. Fortunately, a few years ago, I was able to get some help and make the changes that allowed me to “put myself out there.” I realized my value and gained the confidence to stand behind my work. Writing is one of the things I do best and part of that process is to share it with others, hopefully for comfort and inspiration. Creativity helps separate us from the abyss.
So check things out, check back often, and grab a book or ebook if you don’t have a copy (Links are to the left). Most importantly, leave some feedback or a review on Amazon. Interaction is key to community.
Thank you for helping me celebrate this personal victory. Until next time!
